The network has revealed a new business development executive for Victoria and South Australia.
Daniel Visvardis will be taking on the role, bringing his 25 years of industry experience to the Professionals.
He himself has “always loved the real estate industry that has been a major part of my family’s life”.
He reveals: “As soon as I left school, I began working beside my developer dad and agent mum.”
Having spent time in sales, leasing, off-the-plan development, marketing, technology, and senior managerial roles across business development and franchise growth, Professionals chief executive officer Katherine Gonzalez-Cork has expressed delight at welcoming Mr Visvardis into the fold.
“Daniel is passionate about the real estate industry. He is target-driven, full of energy, and committed to growing the Professionals brand by attracting new offices,’’ the CEO said.
“He will be a huge asset to our expansion plans by identifying new opportunities and providing tactical business solutions to empower and support our member offices to fast-track their success,” she continued.
Mr Visvardis himself is looking forward to having “a hands-on approach and will be on the road prospecting across both states, establishing new offices and providing onboarding support”.
Working across both Victoria and South Australia, the incoming executive shared that the role “seems entirely appropriate as I was born in South Australia and grew up in Victoria, and have strong contacts in both states”.
His major goal is reported as supporting his new network’s ambitious plans to grow the network.
“My priority will be to build and foster relationships. While Victoria and South Australia are well-established markets, there are opportunities for Professionals to expand.”
According to Mr Visvardis, Professionals’ ability to “maintain the feel of a family company” despite its national presence was one of the drawcards of joining the business.
From Ms Gonzalez-Cork’s perspective, “Daniel has a real appreciation of what the Professionals brand offers our independent principals and what sets us apart in the industry”.
Looking ahead, the incoming business development executive expects the real estate markets in both states to continue to grow strongly.
“There are positive signs for a reduction in interest rates in the next six months. When this happens, I see investors returning to the market creating more vital rental properties in the next 12 to 18 months,” he said.
Calling it “an exciting time in the industry”, he also raised that “growth corridors are being created now to get more people into the cities faster”.
“I am definitely optimistic entering 2024,” he concluded.
